Frederick County Office of Economic Development (FCOED) worked with PPR on creating a brand and then rolling out the new brand, their team was professional, meet every deadline and work with us as part of our team.

PPR gave us the faith we needed to take on a large branding project and they positioned us to be successful in every way possible. Like with all large projects, on our end, there were some curveballs and Sandy was right beside us to navigate changes, keep us calm and remain successful.
